Critic reviews

"A police procedural that delights the reader with a strong sense of place. Tartan Noir at its best." (Sarah Ward, author of In Bitter Chill)

Loved the book and would loved to read more of the author’s work if there are more to read

The humour in the story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Good plot with many twists and turns but seemed to take a while to get going. When it did it was good but it did change direction quite a lot.

Good story line

The narrator is dreadful, he overhams it, like he's in a 1920's thriller. Shame really because it's a good story.

Good story

1st book by this author won't be the last

I liked the fact it looked at the problems from all angles. Interesting character development.

A good listen

I know everyone has flaws, but, at his level of seniority and experience he can only be described as a twit! yes, the other officer was a really shitty piece of work (spow), so you could say there were, "extenuating circumstances" but going for the spow over his estranged wife whilst breaking rules over interviewing alone a young woman he had the hots for, and he's a DCI......???? good narration though.

'hero is an idiot '

Honestly, genuinely can’t believe a modern woman wrote this story.
If you read this review before the story, just imagine the novel was written by a 60 year old bloke in the 90s and ignore the mentions of google, Facebook, and mobile phones. This will make it much more palatable!

Sexist 90s detective

I found this book to be quite boring. I would not read any further ones
